I understand what you are saying about the smooth edges. I guess its just a personal choice. Here are three of my favorite vans (all chops...2 Chevys and 1 Dodge) all with the sharp edge boxed ground effects at the bottom. These are vans that inspired me to do those type of ground effects on my chop.

Wow the first version of that Chevy is wild!

I can’t wait to see this come together. Great part about any of this process is if you don’t end up liking something, you learn and make it better. I bet none of those vans got every detail right the first crack at it. It’s called a process for a reason. I love following along.

I can dig it!


You hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers
This town ain't big enough for the both of us
And it ain't me who's gonna leave

OK....got the last piece of the fender cut and fitted (lots of cutting) and then put a quick coat of bondo glass on the seams. I am really liking the way this is looking but I can tell this is going to be a LONG process!
